Question

A human body that is performing light work generates about 650 BTUs of body Heat per hour. If a storage room that is 20' x 25' x 10' is being organized by four people how many BTUs per cubic foot do they produce at four hours

Answer 1

2.72 BTU's / cubic foot.

Explanation:

Volume of the storage room = 20*25*10 = 5000 ft^3.

4 people working generates about 4*850 = 3400 BTU's per hour which equals 4*3400 = 13,600 BTU's in 4 hours.

So the BTU's per cubic foot = 13,600 / 5000

= 2.72 (answer).
